"The inadequacy of the FEC's current regulations makes it practically impossible for both regulators and citizens to determine if the funding for a political advertisement online came from a domestic source or an enemy abroad," former FEC commissioner Ann Ravel wrote in a column for Politico before the announcement.
"It seems like she's already acknowledged impropriety and agreed to remove and not keep some of the money, I just don't see this as something the F.E.C. would spend its resources on," said Ann Ravel, a Democrat who served as the organization's commissioner under former President Barack Obama.
She was also wonderful on Sunday in Ravel's "Cinq Mélodies Populaires Grecques," the composer's elegiac settings of Greek songs, accompanied colorfully here by Ms. Wu. It was a good idea to precede the Berger premiere with the Ravel, a piece that also explores desire through plush, romantic colors.
Several of the most promising startups—like Ravel Law, a legal research and analytics firm, which was conceived in a Stanford Law School dorm room in 2012 and went on to raise $14 million in venture capital—have been snatched up by the legal database and search giants Westlaw and LexisNexis.

Born in Hyōgo to a family that encouraged her to study piano since grade school, Shimomura was raised on Romantic composers like Chopin and Rachmaninoff, drawing particular influence from the more minimal piano works of Ravel and Debussy (one can even hear echoes of Erik Satie in her gentle Kingdom Hearts ballads).
As Persée, the tenor Taehwan Ku dealt stalwartly with a score that sends him almost immediately up to a mock-heroic high C. Ibert was well aware of Ravel — the diaphanous, flickering start of "Persée" pays conscious homage to "Daphnis et Chloé" — so the playful yet profound "L'Enfant et les Sortilèges" made an ideal companion.
Vagina: Jacques Ravel at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Larry J. Forney at the University of Idaho are studying 200 women to determine the microbial changes that may result in a common and difficult-to-control infection called bacterial vaginosis, which afflicts more than 20 million American women of childbearing age.
"It shows they're aware of the issue, [the FEC is] going to be held accountable to Congress, specifically on threat of foreign interference in our election through our campaign finance system," said Stephen Spaulding, a former senior counsel to former Democratic FEC Commissioner Ann Ravel who is now the chief of strategy and external affairs for Common Cause.
Like John Adams and the late Steven Stucky, Andres has succeeded in carrying forward the mainstream tradition of orchestral modernism (which includes Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Ives, and, now, Adams himself) in a way that is no less distinctive for seeming so ironic and abashed: the piece is at once gently private and powerfully communal in its gestures and devices.

The programs suffer from a puzzling dearth of music by living composers — instead, Ravel, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Schumann — and, indeed, little off the beaten path at all, though Leonard Bernstein's Symphony No. 63 ("Jeremiah") gets an unusual hearing, and Bartok's "Bluebeard's Castle" will show off an as-yet-little-heard Expressionist side of Mr. Nézet-Séguin's opera work.

Of Boulez's hundred and fifty or so recordings, I especially prize his hot-blooded Cleveland Orchestra account of "The Rite of Spring" on Sony; his commanding version of the three-act version of "Lulu," on D.G.; his ruthless reading of Mahler's Sixth Symphony; and just about every record he made of the music of Ravel, whom he obscurely resembled—two ascetic sensualists in communion.
